Calverton Executive Airport, near Riverhead, LI, NY, has recently been taken over as the place where about 10,000 cars destroyed in 'superstorm' Sandy are being stored pending auctioning off. The airport, was part of the Grumman company and used to make military aircraft for many years has largely become disused with flights shifted to another nearby airport. A building at this airport was used to store the remains of TWA 800 during it's primary investigation. Here is a link with pictures showing both runways jammed with about 10,000 storm washed and destroyed cars awaiting their future fate. http://www.weather.com/news/hurricane-sandy-cars-20121231

The skydiving company's still there, and in fact built a much larger facility not long ago. I would imagine that the active runway will be cleared of the wrecked cars by the time the skydiving season begins in early April. There's still more than enough room to store huge numbers of vehicles.

Although the airport itself sees little use, in fact one of the two runways was taken out of service a while back so an access road could be cut across the middle of it, the industrial park that has taken over the former Grumman manufacturing facilities seems to be thriving. A long-disused rail line serving the site has recently been rebuilt. Whether there might be a revival of aviation activity, well that seems more doubtful. At least the skydiving facility is there to stay.

A few weeks ago I was working a flight into JFK from South America. Flying over CCC, I noticed the Calverton runways were covered with thousands of what appeared to be -- from 12,000 feet -- flavored sprinkles. I assumed they were cars, but I had no idea why or what they were doing there.
